I’m getting a white screen, it might be the same deal. How can I get the logs in firefox or chrome (not a super power user but I can follow instructions).

@larsiusprime: if you visit /logs immediately after visiting /admin/upgrade you should see the error at the bottom.

Getting stuff like:
```plaintext
! Job exception: undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass
! Job exception: Wrapped NoMethodError: undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass
!! ActionView::Template::Error (Cannot allocate memory - which)

Did the memory leak introduced break the updater?

Interesting, my issue with the docker plugin may be orthogonal to the current upgrade issues we’re experiencing.

Just as I suspected, my issue is a different issue. I still can’t upgrade. :-/ Thanks for letting me know though!
